Pick up a copy of Richard Lee Byer's The Rage. The novel's conclusion provides some insight as to what might cause the rages. |

If you've got a copy, there's a rage in Evermeet: Island of Elves. |

Hail!
The only reference to a rage of dragons tha tI have come across involved an internal conflict withn the CotD in the year 1018 DR which destroyed a place called Peleveran.
Then of course there was the flight of dragons in 1356 DR.
The difference between a "rage" of dragons and a "flight" is supposed to be size; a rage of dragons is supposed to be bigger. Of course, the only "rage" that I have found reference to was brought instigated by the Cult of the Dragon. If a "flight" is a biological instinct, then this might be another difference between a rage and a flight. Or perhaps the claims of the CotD are true and they were responsibile for the flight of 1356 as well?
Are there any mention of flights or rages prior to the birth of the CotD, but well after the age of dragons?
And what of the prophecy that the CotD was built upon? Either version.

There's really not a lot of source material on the Rage to work with, however it seems to be a (sort-of) random biological/instinctual urging that effects all of Dragonkind at different periods throughout history. I'll dig through some of the tomes I have in search of more information.

Is there any discernable pattern to the surges? If not, can anyone give me the dates of the known ones? |

I think we can safely say it isn't that, Cyric.  |

Yes, that is correct Edain. IIRC, the 2e Grand Tour of the Realms (or one of those old 2e tomes) spoke a little about the Rage, describing it as a necessary biological drive that all Dragonkind must undergo.

If my memory serves, all kinds of True Dragon participate, pretty much without regard for inter-racial hatred. I would imagine half-dragon might feel a calling to join in the Rage, but would not be compelled to the same extent as a True Dragon. A shapechanged spellcaster would probably not be forced to participate in the Rage, since i believe that shapechange leaves your mind more or less intact. The way it is described that Rage is a sort of instinctual drive to, well, kill and destroy. |

Good question. Is it just true dragons, or all draconic types? And if a spellcaster would shapechange into a form that gave him/her the draconic type, would (s)he be subject to the Rage? |
| Sourcemaster2 |

Do all kinds of dragons join in the Rage? I know that all chromatic dragons do, but what about metallic or gem dragons? Is it only true dragons, or are there also wyzerns and such? |

I was trying to discuss the utter randomness of the whole thing and indicate how it drastically atlers the psycology of the dragons during the Rage, but I guess I was a bit vauge about it. Sorry. |

The Rage is one of the weirder events int he Realms. It happens every so often, and tends to be pretty much a rampage of senseless destruction. It seems every sleepeing worm in the Realms wakes up and goes out to kill stuff, and then, if they survive, they go home and back to sleep. No one can explain why it happens, it just seems to happen, kind of at random. If you read enough Realms history you will get random references to Rages, just sort of poping up. The dragons seem to even partially ignore their inter-racial hatred during the Rages. Its very cool. |

My fellow scribes, I implore you to try as hard as possible to stay within the current frame of topic discussed by each and every scroll. If you wish to discuss Cyric and his mind (or lack thereof  ), please start a new scroll...
Thank you...
Well met
Youre quite right, Sage! Indeed, I will hear no more talk of Cyric other than on a designated scroll....and furthermore, only genuine questions and remarks regarding this....this....chaotic deity! |

Yeah so that what you think? Well I will guess that Shadowlord would have some coments in this topic as well, but just as you now it, while Cyric maybe have the strenght to take the elfes one by one, he do not have any chance to think out such a attack? This is becouse Cyric is friggin stupid and INSANE. |

By the way he is not mad any more and he could take the elf gods one by one. |
